First, please let me quickly explain some important information about how the Just Answer / Pearl website works, as there will be one more step that you must complete after reading the answer.

1) You pay a fee to the Just Answer / Pearl website to ask your question.

2) An expert will pick up the question and answer it for you, or may ask for additional information.

3) Once the answer is given, you will be asked to rate the answer, using a smiley face system. That positive rating is how the website pays me for my work on your question. The positive rating does not cost you anything extra, it simply allows the website the pay me for my work with a portion of the fee that you paid to the website.

4) Please understand that the experts here are not employees of the website. We are users of the site just like you, and we answer questions in our spare time to help others and as a source of additional income. The rating you give is for the research done on your question and the effort of my work, not necessarily the answer itself. Sometimes, we have to give answers that are not pleasant to hear, but that is the honest answer nonetheless.

5) If you have any further questions or would like more information, just reply back to me and let me help you further, or see if I can find another expert to work with you if I cannot help with your question. If you are having trouble with the rating system, you can also reply back to me with “Excellent Service, Good Service”, etc. Thanks!

This Firearm appraisal is a value estimate on the appraised firearm for the date of the appraisal. The value quoted is a real world market value (also known as a private party value) and is the amount you should expect to pay for the firearm. This is not an appraisal for retail or wholesale purposes.

The information and values in this appraisal are compiled from a variety of sources including the current editions of the Blue Book of Gun Values , my internal reference library, my network of Firearms experts across the United States, firearms auctions, and through various online sites.

The values in this appraisal are based on recent sales of comparable and similar firearms taking into account the rarity, desirability, and overall original condition of the firearm. In the case that a comparable sale is not readily available, the value is based on a projected amount that the firearm would be expected to sell for.

All information compiled in this firearm evaluation using the Blue Book of Gun Values online database and Photo Percentage Grading System is copyrighted 2012 by Blue Book Publications, Inc. and may not be used for any other purpose without written permission from the publisher. Any unauthorized usage of the Photo Percentage Grading System for the evaluation of firearms values and color photo percentage breakdown is also expressly forbidden by the publisher.
